The Kansas City Chiefs overcame an injury to quarterback Patrick Mahomes, relying on core offensive players and a solid defensive effort to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 27-20.
With the Divisional Round win, the Chiefs advance to their fifth straight AFC Championship game.
Chad Henne’s 98-yard drive
For Mahomes to leave a playoff game for any reason, he had to have been in a significant amount of pain. After sitting on the sideline cold for 19 weeks (other than end-of-game snaps against the San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders), backup Chad Henne entered the Divisional Round game with the Chiefs’ offense beginning on their own 2-yard time.
